SB 1604 requires Tennessee public schools and charter schools to teach students about the formation of U.S. and Tennessee governments using foundational documents like the Constitution and state founding texts at appropriate grade levels. This mandate aligns with existing state social studies standards adopted by the state board, without creating new standards. The bill directly affects all local education agencies and public charter schools in Tennessee by adding this specific curriculum requirement.
